Overview

History & significance

Butler's Manor moated site is a medieval settlement monument located in Buckinghamshire, England. The site comprises the remains of a moated enclosure, a defensive or prestigious feature characteristic of manorial residences from the medieval period, particularly common in the 12th to 16th centuries. The moat survives as a substantial earthwork forming a roughly rectangular or polygonal water-filled or water-retaining ditch that once surrounded the residential and domestic buildings of the manor. As a scheduled ancient monument designated under the National Heritage List for England, the site represents important evidence of medieval settlement patterns and the organisation of manorial estates in the English Midlands and southern regions.
